AHAH! Thank you for your help. You mentioned that the private key was missing. I didn't realize I was generating a private key! (ok, I'm not new to php, but definitely new to the whole system configuration, apache, ssl side of things). So, in looking into that I found that I hadn't restarted apache in ssl mode, when I tried I found that failed with the same error. added some missing directives to the conf file & it started right up & is working great! Thank you for the point in the right direction!
